Subject: RE: Lyr Add: THE MALLARD
I heard Tim Van Eyken sing this at "Not the White Horse Folk Club" in Beverley.

His was a mixture of the two versions above which went something like this:
1. Oh, I have eaten him, what did I eat? I ate the head of the mallard. Head head and toe and toe, toe nibbins'n all, It all went into the pellagio [stomach] Oh most beautiful head of the mallard.
You may find the song on one of his recordings if you want the tune.
